New submission from Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com>:

Some functions in the readline module appear to leak memory;  
readline.replace_history_item is one of these:

Test code:

import readline
readline.clear_history()
readline.add_history("first line")
readline.add_history("second line")
while True:
    readline.replace_history_item(0, "replaced item")

This is on OS X 10.6.4, with a 64-bit debug build of Python, and the readline 
module linked against a local build of GNU readline version 6.1.
